Artist: Ron English Title: Heart Brain   About the print: UnsignedArchival Pigment Print on Hahnemuhle 210gsm 50% rag watercolor paper 13″x19″ paper size hand numbered edition of 250 Embossed with the Heliotrope Foundation logo  Bio of the artist:  English coined the term POPaganda to describe his signature mash-up of high and low cultural touchstones, from superhero mythology to totems of art history, populated with his vast and constantly growing arsenal of original characters, including MC Supersized, the obese fast-food mascot featured in the hit movie “Supersize Me,” and Abraham Obama, the fusion of America’s 16th and 44th Presidents, an image widely discussed in the media as directly impacting the 2008 election. Other characters carousing through English’s art, in paintings, billboards, and sculpture include three-eyed rabbits, udderly delicious cowgirls and grinning skulls, blending stunning visuals with the bitingly humorous undertones of America’s Premier Pop Iconoclast.
